Wednesday, January 16 | 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM ETJoin us for our HIMSS Quarterly Winter Interoperability & HIE Community Roundtable! We will be learning about the efforts of the San Diego CIE and the ongoing work of the HIMSS Exploring Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Technology for Healthcare Task Force.

Access to the records of patients evacuated from the disaster areas can enable vital triage and save lives. The ability to retrieve these records is also a test of how far the U.S. health care system has come in its digital transformation.

Within electronic health records, there is an inherent tension between the need for discrete data and natural language. Clinicians find value in both forms of information. The narrative describes the patient's preferences and care priorities, and provides an expanded picture of the patient's social history.

Since our earliest days of assessing how blockchain may transform the world of healthcare, our team of authors has repeatedly connected and surveyed the landscape to assess what is real and hypothesize on what may come next.
